WELCOME FROM THE CURATORS

After the incredible success of last year’s Murder One festival we’re back with a new line up!

This year Murder One kicked off with the Midsummer Murder One series, and we’ve already hosted several international superstar authors - Jeffery Deaver, James Ellroy, Karin Slaughter, Jane Harper, Adrian McKinty and Linwood Barclay.

In this year’s main festival we are bringing you workshops in Pearse Street Library and in Smock Alley, a mixture of true crime and crime fiction. We also have a panel dedicated to one of the greatest crime writers of all, Agatha Christie. In addition to our main programme in the theatre area, in the Banquet Hall upstairs, we have a coffee shop, book shop, and a fabulous free speakers corner where some superb authors will be reading from their work. You can get your tarot cards read by our Murder One Witches there as well - check out the centre pages of this brochure for information.

Murder One is brought to you by partners in crime Bert Wright and Sam Blake (aka Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin). Bert is one of Ireland’s top literary event programmers having been curating author events for almost 30 years in the UK, USA and Ireland. He is currently programming the long running DLR voices Reading Series and The Dublin Festival of History. Sam Blake is the best selling author of the Cat Connolly series and her new book, a psychological thriller Keep Your Eyes on Me is due out in January 2020. Sam/Vanessa also runs the multi award winning writing resources website Writing.ie. Bert and Vanessa previously collaborated on the Bram Stoker festival but there wasn’t nearly enough blood…

Murder One is only possible with the incredible support of Dublin Libraries and Dublin City of Literature - they bring books to readers and run amazing events right across the city from some of the most wonderful venues. They also provide an audio library for those who want to listen rather than read, and support for reading and writing groups for all ages - without them there would be significantly fewer readers.

With your fantastic help on social media last year Murder One achieved a reach of over eight million impressions on Twitter. Feel free to take photos and tweet your fingers sore using #MurderOneFest19, @MurderOneFest to see if we can beat it!

Catherine will share each step of her own process, from interrogating the initial idea to getting to ‘THE END’ of the first draft, with lots of Post-It Notes in between. Even if you’re more of a pantser than a plotter, this workshop will offer techniques, tips and tricks that will help you strengthen your storytelling and keep your readers turning the page.

Untold Stories: The Five Hallie Rubenhold with Joseph O’ConnorPolly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders - 1888 - and their murderer, the man known as Jack the Ripper. Historian Hallie Rubenhold talks to Joseph O’Connor and sets the record straight, giving these women back their stories. Set just ten years previously, in his latest novel Shadowplay, O’Connor reveals the hidden stories of Bram Stoker’s life. Enter the dark world of Victorian London with two eminent authors.

Staring Death in the Eye Unnatural Causes: Pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd in conversationAs the UK’s leading forensic pathologist, Dr Shepherd has faced serial killers, natural disaster, ‘perfect murders’ and freak accidents, all in the pursuit of the truth. And while he’s been involved in some of the most high-profile cases of recent times, it’s often the less well-known encounters that prove the most perplexing, intriguing and even bizarre. In or out of the public eye, his evidence has put killers behind bars, freed the innocent and turned open-and-shut cases on their heads. In his bestselling memoir, Richard Shepherd gives a unique insight into a remarkable profession, and above all a powerful and reassuring testament to lives cut short. In conversation with international bestselling crime writer Dr Paul Carson, Shepherd will take you into his world where he stares death in the eye.
